While that might all be true it doesn't make the last generalization you 
made true.

The simple way to check is to read the VINs.

I thought the definition/distinction was the 5 cylinder engine (ie, the 
4 cyls are type 81, the 5 cyls 85), but your 2 dr 4000 4E sounds like a 
disproof of that guess/assumption.

Does anyone actually *know*?

>>>All 81-87.5 Coupes are type 85.

>>>The '84 Coupe GT still had 4x100 wheels.
